An analog meter is a device used to measure electrical quantities such as voltage, current, or resistance. It typically features a dial with a needle that moves across a scale to indicate the measurement. Unlike digital meters, which display readings in numbers, analog meters provide a visual representation of the measurement, making it easy to see changes at a glance. These meters are often used in various applications, including automotive diagnostics and electrical testing. Common types of analog meters include multimeters and ammeter. They are valued for their simplicity and reliability, especially in environments where digital devices may be less effective.
